I don't think it's canon, but I'm pretty sure he is in some novels

Licensed novels are beta canon.

What does that mean?

Star Trek maintains two layers of canon. Anything on screen (TV or movie) is “alpha canon.” Books, comics, games, etc. are “beta canon” and generally considered below the alpha class of information, but canon until contradicted by alpha canon or statements by creators. The most commonly cited and held in highest regard pieces of beta canon are the various tech manuals which have ven been used frequently by writers, but occasionally contradicted on screen.
